10/10/24 • 36 min
In this episode, Maurice Hamilton sits down with Ron Green, CO-Founder and CTO of Kungfu.AI, a cutting-edge AI strategy and engineering firm, to dive deep into the evolving world of artificial intelligence. Ron shares his personal journey, from feeling burned out during his computer science studies at the University of Texas to finding a renewed passion for AI through an introductory course. That pivotal moment set the course for his career, leading him to build a company dedicated to advancing AI technology for businesses in healthcare, finance, defense, and beyond.
The conversation covers AI’s incredible evolution over the past few decades, with Ron reflecting on the so-called “AI winters” of the past and how the recent boom in AI technologies like machine learning, predictive modeling, and generative AI has transformed industries. He explains how Kungfu.AI has completed over 100 AI-driven projects, ranging from predictive breast cancer diagnostics that surpass human capabilities to automating complex financial systems for large corporations. Ron emphasizes the growing importance of ethical AI, particularly the need to reduce bias in AI systems and the dangers of "AI hallucinations" that can generate false outputs, as seen in high-profile cases like legal document generation mishaps.
Looking toward the future, Ron predicts a major AI transformation in the next three years, with advancements such as real-time language translation across hundreds of languages and exponential growth in AI's use in industries like robotics and personalized healthcare. However, Ron also cautions businesses not to rush into AI without a clear strategy, stressing the critical importance of quality data and long-term planning to maximize AI’s potential. The episode wraps up with Ron offering practical advice for business leaders: embrace AI’s opportunities, but do so with thoughtfulness, care, and an eye on the ethical and regulatory challenges ahead.

Podcast with Jeremy Snyder, Founder and CEO @ Firetail.io: "Securing the Future: API Security, Cloud Infrastructure, and the Shift Left Strategy"
In this podcast with Jeremy Snyder, CEO and Founder of Firetail.io, we discussed the evolution of software development, particularly with the shift from on-premises to cloud-based systems, and the growing significance of API security. Jeremy shared his career journey, highlighting how he transitioned from hands-on IT roles to cloud computing, particularly with Amazon Web Services (AWS), and his current focus on API security.
The conversation explores the increasing complexity of modern software, such as apps like Uber, which rely on multiple APIs for functionality. Jeremy explains how APIs allow the software to incorporate external services, enabling seamless user experiences. However, he emphasizes the importance of securing these API connections, mainly as they handle sensitive data, like location information and payment details.
We discussed and explored how organizations often need help maintaining consistent security practices. Developers sometimes implement new features without appropriately involving security teams, creating gaps that can be exploited. Jeremy also introduced the concept of "shifting left," incorporating security early in the development process to avoid more significant risks later.
The discussion touched on the regulatory landscape. Jeremy noted that while industries like healthcare and finance have strict regulations, many others, such as hospitality, still need to, despite handling sensitive customer data. He advocated for broader regulation and standards around API security to protect consumer information.
Jeremy also expressed excitement about AI's potential to help secure APIs by identifying and correcting flaws in API design, ultimately reducing risks and improving security outcomes.

Podcast with Mike Bowers, Chief Architect at FairCom Corporation "Simplifying Data Management: Merging JSON, SQL, and the Future of Databases"
In this episode of "Where Humanity Meets Technology," Maurice Hamilton interviews Mike Bowers, the Chief Architect at FairCom, about the evolution of database technology, its future direction, and FairCom's innovative solutions. Mike shares his journey in programming, starting at age 14 with an Atari 400 and teaching himself BASIC, which set the foundation for his extensive career in database management and architecture. He delves into his work at FairCom, where he is spearheading the development of a next-generation database that seamlessly integrates JSON and SQL for efficient data storage, querying, and scalability.
Mike explains the complexity of traditional databases like Oracle and SQL and how NoSQL was initially a reaction to these complexities. However, despite its promises, NoSQL databases still require DBAs. Faircom's solution simplifies the process by allowing developers to store and query JSON objects naturally, without the complexity of frameworks or query language mismatches.
He also discusses how FairCom's databases handle vast amounts of transactions efficiently, outperforming even multimillion-dollar systems. With built-in security features, including FIPS-compliant encryption and easy certificate management, Faircom provides a robust, secure, and scalable solution. Additionally, Bowers touches on the future of databases, emphasizing the importance of graph databases, microservices, and a new wave of database architecture integrating cloud and local operations seamlessly.
